Fish have a distinct odor. Different species of fish have different odors. For the angler, it is a good day when they smell like fish!

The heat of mid-summer is the time bluegreen algae blooms are likely on Nebraska waters. Know what those blooms are and what you should do.

At least some of the fish you catch will be released. Proper fish handling is critical especially during the heat of summer.

Summer is a great time to fish topwater baits. Have had the interesting experience of having more than one bait broken by wipers.

My family and I celebrate the 4th of July in a variety of ways. Somewhere in all the celebrating we will do some fishing!
